Board awarded $152,626.51 in damages for collective agreement violations after denying responding party's adjournment request.

At the hearing, the responding party's principal requested an adjournment to retain counsel, which the Board denied due to ample prior notice.

The Board also ruled that the responding party could not participate in the hearing because it failed to file a Notice of Intent to Defend or a response.

After hearing evidence from the applicant, the Board found that the responding party violated the applicable collective agreements by failing to pay proper wages and make required benefit contributions.

The Board ordered the responding party to pay $152,626.51 in damages and liquidated damages.

Request for reconsideration dismissed as the Board properly drew inferences from the pleaded facts.

The Board reviewed its jurisprudence on reconsideration and found that it had properly noted the lack of evidence regarding the affiliated bargaining agents' knowledge and had appropriately drawn inferences from the pleaded facts.

The request for reconsideration was dismissed.

Application for first contract arbitration dismissed as collective bargaining was not found to be unsuccessful.

The applicant union applied under section 43 of the Labour Relations Act, 1995 for a direction that a first collective agreement be settled by arbitration.

The union alleged that collective bargaining had been unsuccessful due to the employer's refusal to negotiate contracting, subcontracting, and job security provisions.

The Board found that bargaining had been slowed by confusion over the scope of the union's bargaining rights, but that the employer had made a verbal proposal on the issues.

The Board concluded that it did not appear that the process of collective bargaining had been unsuccessful and dismissed the application.

Board finds a crane rental yard is a 'project' allowing unilateral union steward appointment.

The union referred a grievance to arbitration under section 133 of the Labour Relations Act, alleging the employer violated the collective agreement by refusing to recognize the appointment of a union steward for its Toronto yard.

The employer argued that a yard is not a 'project' under the agreement, and therefore the appointment was for a 'company-wide steward' which required employer consent.

The Board interpreted the collective agreement and found that, in the context of the crane and equipment rental business, the yard constitutes a 'project'.

Consequently, the union had the right to unilaterally appoint the steward, and the employer was directed to recognize the appointment.

Related employer application dismissed as there was no labour relations mischief to remedy.

The applicant union brought applications alleging that the City of Toronto and the Toronto Parking Authority were a single employer or that a sale of business had occurred, alongside a construction grievance regarding the contracting of a parking garage to a non-union contractor.

The responding parties brought preliminary motions arguing res judicata based on prior PSLRTA proceedings and that the Board should decline to exercise its discretion under section 1(4) of the Labour Relations Act.

The Board rejected the res judicata argument but dismissed the related employer application, finding no labour relations mischief to remedy as the entities had operated separately for years without the union seeking to formalize bargaining rights.
